I mean... awesome that the founder believes in shared ownership and passes out equity like candy... those are still staggering salaries. I'm not mad though, unless others in the organization are being paid much less.
Peloton Instructor Salaries Are Probably Not What You Think

This is why their stuff costs so much.
I agree they should pay their instructors shit and give the CEO more money.
Makes sense, no one is paying that fee to get in a class with some boring ugly dude for an hour every day. I already get that at my gym.

Yeah, word. That's exactly what I meant, and no one here shits on them for how much their stuff costs whenever there's a thread about them.
When I saw the title I thought it was going to be about how under paid they were, but good to see they are making money.
I don't think anyone really cares? They set price the market clearly will bear, and people are free to buy into it if they want, knowing the price.
It's expensive and it's a luxury, but it is what it is?
That's exactly the sort of thing I wish more companies would do, but it's reserved for people in the tech/startup space. More established companies would never want to give up power like that.
Two (or more) different Americas. And it sucks so much.
But I am happy that Peloton employees are among the "chosen" at least.
I subscribe to a competing service - iFit - and this has me wondering how much they make. I already figured trainers for any of these services have to be making $70K+.

I understand it isn't even close. My wife knows someone who used to work for them, and it wasn't really anything special.
From what I understand, they have to be trainers, actors, and streamers. And peloton as a concept is meant to be an equinox type of deal. Makes sense.
What I'm curious about is if all the alternatives popping up are competitive to that end. If there was any attempt to persuade trainers to switch services, and if anyone would follow. It's an interesting dynamic.
I saw a video the other week about some resistance weight lifting device you mount to the wall. The whole front was a screen with adjustable arms depending on the movement. The hardware was pricey as is and had a subscription to use the full functionality. And when they demoed what it's like without the subscription, it really loses most of its utility.

That's cool, it's a tough job to do and people really get sold on the instructors so it makes sense
The machines are the razors and the content is the razor blades, so it's good to see Peloton understands how important it is to keep the talent making that content happy.
This seems to be the one I saw the video of,
But looking for it, there are quite a few with that concept. Including the Mirror one, something called tempo, another called the vault.

There's at least one user here with a Tonal. He seems to like it a lot, and I kind of want one but don't really have space for it.
Not surprised. It's not an easy job, they have to create classes and teach them, which requires them to be in incredible shape and full of energy/charisma every single day. Ally Love and Alex Toussaint are my favorites.
I'm glad they make a nice cut of the profits. Is this supposed to outrage us? People seem okay with 'influencers' making millions
I feel like I'd always be worried about ripping one off the wall.
Yup. Take this into a different context and we can say the same thing ("They get paid how much to play Valorent?" "They get paid how much to review tech?")
The talent is a huge amount of the draw, in the last WWDC Apple made a specific point to highlight some of the trainers they poached for Apple Fitness which shows it's importance since WWDC is aimed at developers/industry folks. Even Apple understands that in it's product aimed to complete with Peleton, it's the talent that matters more than the tech.
Without the talent you might as well buy a tablet and tape it on a Walmart exercise bike.
Employee pay reflecting what they contribute to the company??
Fucking finally.
"From each according to their ability, to each according to their contribution."

Honestly surprised this thread wasn't a Bon Appetit type situation where all the people they built their huge brand on make 45k a year.
Great news. When you see how hard people like Alex Touissant work, I'm glad they're bringing in good money. Not only do they have to be in excellent shape, but they've also got to function as media personalities on top of that. They're literally the faces of Peloton, so they should share in its success.
Their instructors are top notch and it shows. With more competition, the instructors are the selling point for sure.
And here's a cool twitch stream that Cody Rigsby was on with IAmBrandon. They talk about PRIDE, how gaming helped them when they were younger and tons of other great convos.

But it is what it is, right? Can't have cheap hardware and expect the company to pay its employees well. They just need to make sure their equipment doesn't harm children.
